A hand reached to the sky as if to touch the clouds as they melted into orange and red stripes. A sigh slipped past lips and settled into a comfortable smile. She was beautiful. As beautiful as the sunset she wanted to hold forever. Crickets chirped their chorus of nature's song as she turned to smile at the subject of her affection. The one she could only hope to hold onto like the sunset.
She watched her smile, affection in her eyes, behind the camera. The camera was set down and steady hands wrapped lovingly around her. Fingertips brushed against bare skin. Breathless giggles passed between shared air. Eyes trailed over faces. Two smiles linked into one.
She reached up and pushed a strand of hair out of her lover's face. Her hand lingered on her cheek, her eyes committing every detail to memory.
"Yeji," she said breathlessly. "I want to stay here forever with you."
Yeji felt her heart soar. She turned back to the sunset, a glimmer of hope behind layers of happiness. She was home, where her lover was, where she'd always be. She looked back at her and kissed her softly.
"Me too."
